Oops! I totally overlooked the link to the technical stuff. But my question about the possible speed gains remains.
Also, I don't understand the example in the section on memory management: @date = date1 Intuitively, it would seem that the value bound to any identifier would persist until the identifier goes out of scope. I could see the distinction if we're dealing with pointers, which might go dead. What am I missing?
